Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video rating systems have low accuracy in recommending videos suitable for individual users, leading to discomfort due to impactful content being played unexpectedly.

Innovation Solution

A video playing method that allows users to preset their video rating, pausing playback and prompting them when content exceeds their acceptable rating, using a video content recognition model to identify sensitive content and provide personalized control options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If videos are divided into adult and teenager categories based on age group, then video rating is simplified, but the accuracy of video rating decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo rating complexityVSAvoidvideo rating accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video content into multiple rating levels (first rating level and second rating level) rather than a simple binary classification. This multi-level segmentation allows for more precise identification of impactful content while maintaining system simplicity, resolving the contradiction between rating complexity and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different rating standards to different parts of the video content. By identifying specific impactful scenes (such as bloody or violent pictures) and assigning them higher rating levels, the system achieves accurate local assessment without requiring the entire video to be re-evaluated, thus improving accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If a video is rated as suitable for adult users, then more videos become accessible, but impactful pictures may still cause discomfort to some users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo accessibilityVSAvoiduser discomfort from impactful content
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic rating system where users can adjust their preferred rating level. Instead of a fixed classification, the system adapts to individual user preferences by allowing users to set their acceptable rating threshold. This dynamic adjustment enables the system to maintain broad accessibility while preventing discomfort from impactful content that exceeds user tolerance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates user feedback mechanisms where users can indicate their comfort level with impactful content. By continuously monitoring user preferences and adjusting recommendations accordingly, the system maintains versatility in video selection while reducing harmful effects of unexpected impactful pictures through personalized feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present application discloses a video playing method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium, and relates to the field of video playing. A specific implementation is as follows: receiving a video playing request input by a user and starting playing a video that is requested, pausing the playing when the playing of the video reaches a target video content, and pushing prompt information to the user, where the target video content is of a higher video rating than a preset video rating of the user, and the prompt information is used to prompt the user that the target video content to be played is not suitable for the user to watch. In this embodiment, by rating a video content in a video and in combination with a user's acceptability of the video, when playing reaches a video content that is not suitable for the user to watch, the playing is paused and prompt information is pushed to the user, which allows for a highly accurate video rating and can prevent the user from seeing an impactful picture.
